Lisa started out as a consultant working with HMRC and then smart meters, before accidentally becoming a developer.
She worked as a tech lead at GoCardless and has recently joined as employee #2 at incident.io, providing tooling to help your whole organization manage incidents better. She loves building stuff, but is also really interested in how people interact with each other in a work environment – particularly in software engineering.
